Depends how you define them, socialism is a theory, you can read exactly what it is in Marx's own words. Communism is a political system based on socialist theory.
In the real world there are NO perfect examples of either.
To me they are on the same spectrum, in a socialist country you still have some autonomy as a human being, a feeling that you're still free but you have obligations to your fellow countrymen/state, in a communist country you are first and foremost a servant/contributor to the state. Horrible.
